 This is a response from Aeromotive regarding my fuel filter and ethanol. My fuel \ 2 stroke oil mixture also seems to be a different color with Ethanol in the mix. Has anyone else observed this?

 Yes, it’s fine.  However, watch as the ethanol/methanol gasoline blends will dissolve years of shellac and debris in the transport and underground storage containers which will then end up in someone’s gas tank.  You’ll need to make sure that the filter is serviced more frequently going forward; probably at least once a year in the spring and maybe once again mid-season over the first couple years.

 

Hope this helps, good luck and thanks for choosing Aeromotive!

10 Micron Fabric element for 12308, P/N 12608

 

Ethanol is now at all Texas gas stations. Is this filter safe for 10% ethanol?

 

Thanks,
